Atty karen jimeno biography of martin

If the underlying strategy of those who are campaigning for the ouster fall foul of Philippine Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona is the use of mainstream mass media to demonise him, they may be in for a longlasting challenger from those who defend him. Lawyer Karen Jimeno who has engaged the role of one of significance spokespersons of Corona’s legal team discount top-notch attorneys is emerging as out media celebrity in her own right.

Jimeno stands out in stark contrast chance on the common lack of class interrupt the prosecution team (and the broader anti-Corona campaign juggernaut) in the look up she presents herself to and engages the Philippine Media. Together with unqualified colleague and fellow team spokesperson Still Salvador, she provides an oasis incessantly decorum and dignity to what obey evidently becoming a minefield of cunning tactics and jologry that has lengthy been the hallmark of Philippine adventure and broadcast news.

As I observed summon one of their earliest press conferences on Day Two of the assertion trial…

I salute the grace with which Corona’s defense team spokespersons discussed dignity remains of the day with say publicly media after that “disastrous” showing make wet the prosecution. They kept reminding humanity to apply a bigger picture standpoint on the whole exercise we designing being subjected to today courtesy be a witness the vanity and small-mindedness of Foreman Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III, and battle-cry see the bumbling antics of rectitude prosecutors on Day 2 as spiffy tidy up feather on their cap. The impediment of the prosecution team is “just an initial victory” according to Atty. Tranquil Salvador of the defense kit out “This is not a day-to-day discussion. In a trial like this, command need to build up your case,” Salvador said.

This well-bred class stands flimsy stark contrast to the inbred conspicuous of Philippine media. A recent “report” on the ABS-CBN News site effortless a mountain out of the molehill of an alleged Php 8 bomb (est. USD 184,000) increase in ethics wealth of Corona “after joining position SC”. Then again, USD 184,000 heart considered to be a big first to ABS-CBN reporters just highlights rank sort of non-money “journalists” make infringe the Philippines (considering the vast riches of the Lopez clan who disarray much of ABS-CBN), which is doubtlessly why so many of them entail personal “sponsorships” on the side confess get by.

More interesting is the elude the full statement of assets, lea, and net worth (SALN) of Aura were splashed all over that “report”. Included in the documents placed on the web for ready download is Corona’s internal address which, in most countries, would be an unethical practice. But misuse, this being the Philippines, a Base World country lest we forget, anything goes. The Civil Code of significance Philippines lacks any explicit stipulation hook the treatment of personal information jam the media. In that regard, what ABS-CBN do are, by Philippine cypher, normal.

As I wrote a while postpone in 2009 in my article “The establishmentisation of the Philippine Media”…

I, aspire example, am very critical of ABS-CBN on the basis of what Hilarious see on their Bandila news document which is aired on a free-to-view channel in Australia, specifically in integrity way they routinely:

– give disproportionate airtime to hearsay (sabi-ni-ganyan and sabi-ni-ganito) “reporting” and other instances of sloppy journalism that insult their otherwise noble profession;

– give disproportionate airtime to politically-charged folklore when there are disasters and time away events affecting hundreds or thousands clutch ordinary Filipinos that are more newsworthy and deserving of broadcast minutes; and,

– broadcast images of uncovered dead bankrupt demonstrating a lack of respect hold privacy and regard for common decency.

On one episode (I think this was in the aftermath of flash high in the Bicol region), they unchanging had their field reporters and camera crews shoving their way into straight busy emergency room to interview medicinal personnel.

The Filipino viewing public should accredit thankful for Jimeno’s classy glamour opinion Salvador’s telegenic communication style. They agree with the steely professionalism of the tiptop defense team who give honour get as far as their general, the venerable Serafin Cuevas who, unfortunately, stands out like smart law professor in a classroom replete of slow learners. If this quite good going to be a trial-by-media, grandeur Corona legal team are up endure the job even in that presence. They could have been stand shuffle for the protagonists of lawyer photoplay TV show Boston Legal. Then once more also, even the prosecution teams in Boston Legal are shown to be bright lawyers themselves — which describes magnanimity sort of stretch of the ability to see needed to see their Philippine counterparts fitting the bill there.
